The 2025 RAM 1500 RHO has arrived as a successor to the legendary RAM 1500 TRX, but what exactly sets the new RHO apart, and is it a true replacement for the outgoing off-road beast? Here’s how these two trucks compare in performance, design, and mission.

Powertrain and Performance

The most notable change comes under the hood: the RAM 1500 TRX was famously powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® V8, unleashing 702 horsepower. The new RAM 1500 RHO features the high-output version of the Hurricane™ 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six, delivering 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. That’s a slight horsepower drop, but the RAM 1500 RHO still boasts impressive acceleration, better fuel efficiency, and lower emissions, thanks to the advanced twin-turbo setup.

Capability and Off-Road Equipment

Both trucks feature a rugged suspension system, Bilstein® adaptive shocks, and full-time 4x4 capability. However, the RHO model benefits from weight savings and improved balance, making it more agile in off-road conditions. The RAM 1500 RHO retains its sibling’s aggressive stance, 35-inch all-terrain tires, and reinforced frame, ensuring it lives up to its predecessor's legacy in terms of trail readiness.

Technology and Interior Features

Inside, both models offer premium comfort and cutting-edge tech. The RAM 1500 RHO features the latest Uconnect® 5 system with a 14.5-inch touchscreen, while the TRX came standard with a 12-inch unit. Expect wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, digital instrumentation, and available leather upholstery with sporty accents.
